Former President Joe Biden’s roundly criticized “efficiency” rules regarding common household appliances that experts said would dramatically increase costs with only nominal “savings” on energy are going away.
Earlier this month, President Trump directed the Department of Energy to stop enforcing and begin rescinding Obama-era regulations that limit water flow in faucets, showerheads, toilets, dishwashers, and washing machines.
He criticized the rules as “unnecessary radical green agenda policies.”
This marks a major step toward ending the federal government’s overreach into everyday household appliances—an effort critics say has long prioritized special interests in Washington at the expense of consumers, notes Restoration News.
